[Verse]
G
All the snow has turned to water,
A7
All the snow has turned to water,
D
Christmas days have come and gone.
G A7
Broken toys and faded colours are all
D
that's left to linger on.
Broken toys and faded colours are all that's left to linger on.
G
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops,
A7
I hate graveyards and old pawn shops,
D
For they always bring me tears.
G
I can't forgive the way they robbed
A7 D
me of my childhood souvenirs.
I can't forgive the way they robbed me of my childhood souvenirs.

Memories, they can't be boughten.
A7
They can't be won at carnivals for
D
free.
They can't be won at carnivals for free.
A7 D
Well it took me years to get those
souvenirs,
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs,
G
And i don't know how they slipped
A7
away from me.
And i don't know how they slipped away from me.

Broken hearts and dirty windows
A7
Broken hearts and dirty windows
D
Make life difficult to see.
That's why last night and this
G A7
morning
That's why last night and this morning
D
Always look the same to me.
G
And I hate reading old love letters
A7
And I hate reading old love letters
D
For they always bring me tears.
G
I can't forget the way they robbed
A7
me,
I can't forget the way they robbed me,
D
Of my sweetheart's souvenirs.

Memories, they can't be boughten.

They can't be won at carnivals for
D
free.

Well it took me years to get those
souvenirs,
Well it took me years to get those souvenirs,
G
And i don't know how they slipped
A7
away from me.
And i don't know how they slipped away from me.
